Ahem! Anyway, I'm really sorry you're still having this problem, but unfortunately there's not an awful lot you can do about it. You could do as generalebriety suggested and make a formal complaint, but to be honest, it probably wouldn't achieve anything and it would make her even more hostile to you if she found out. Just carry on doing your best; doing all your homework on time, participating in lessons and so on. That's all you can do. At the end of the day, you'll be the one sitting the exams, so she can't affect your grade unless you let her. At least you've got other teachers in the department you get on well with who can help you if you need it, and on the bright side, you have excellent predictions and good uni offers. You could also just come right out and ask her what her problem is though, as long as you do it calmly and politely; you never know, it might embarrass her into being nicer to you. Feel free to PM/email me if you ever need any help with French or just want to talk :smile:

Oh, I understood, it just took me 5 times as long as reading correctly formed English would have done. And hurt my eyes. :p:

In German, conditional clauses don't work quite the same way they do in English, so you actually can use the simple present here. :wink:

But yes, "schreiben würdest" would work as well - "schriebst" (let alone "schriebest") would seem a bit odd to most people, though, as it's not a very commonly used form anymore.

I know, that's why I said it. :p:

You don't have to take my sarcasm as a misunderstanding, you know. :p:

Wenn das dir hülfe, ginge ich gerne weg... :frown:

I'm sorry, I just find Konjunktiv II an amusing verb form. :p:

I'm afraid <looks sheepish> that I didn't get all the German either - I just do French and Spanish but I have had a similar problem with my French teacher. Luckily I have 2 but she was always lovely to me and then one day she just said she'd been really busy and so she'd given my work to the other French teacher. But since then she has been giving all my work to the other French teacher while she marks everyone elses and surely it can't just be she doesn't have time for. Then she stopped asking me anything in lessons and stopped answering my questions. Anyway, so I actually asked if I could talk to her about it all and she was very nice about it. She said she thought I liked the other teacher better because I did better in the essays she set me and she apologised because she said she didn't realise that she'd been doing all those things, it just sort of happened....although I'm not sure how true that can be and it was a pretty childish thing to do even if it was true but the point is she didn't jump down my throat and have me expelled for talking to her. I think the best thing you can do is ask her what's up beause if she really does hate you, you have nothing to lose but probably she'll be interested to hear your take on the situation and won't have realised. At least, you'll know where you stand. Bonne chance!

Good post. :smile:

I suppose it's actually difficult to remember that teachers are people too sometimes. It could well be a case of the same - maybe the teacher's offended because you (prinzessin1988) seem to be favouritist towards the other teachers, which in a sense you are - it just depends on which came first. And if you both think you were hard done to first, well, there's some talking to be done. :smile:

Look, I'm sorry to be so anal about this, but it's actually against the forum rules - scroll down to item 4 on the general rules list: "no txt spk". No matter how "natural" it may feel to you, it's simply a pain to read for others, so do try to be a bit more considerate. Not everyone on here is a teenager, you know. Besides, there's no way you'll convince anyone that common words like "really", "sorry", "for", "that", "but", "to" or "with", all of which are extremely basic English vocabulary are "weird" in any way. You are capable of spelling them out, it's just that you're apparently too lazy to do so.
